The taste of the Transylvanian tradition takes centre stage at the Saxon Lichiu Celebration, an event dedicated to one of the most cherished specialities of Transylvania’s Saxon villages.

Also known as Hanklich or Hencleș, Saxon lichiu is prepared according to recipes passed down from one generation to the next, with soft dough, sour cream, eggs and delicate flavours reminiscent of festive meals from times gone by.

This event is an invitation to discover authentic tastes, local stories and the joy of spending time together in a warm atmosphere inspired by Transylvania’s cultural and culinary heritage.

Come and taste a piece of tradition, while enjoying a celebration that brings people together around a truly special local treat.
